Digital system development and maintenance
A digital system shaped around the organisation’s work, with reusable infrastructure underneath and a defined path for maintenance.
Forge
Builds and maintains digital systems on a chosen framework under human supervision. Reusable specifications and components carry what one build learns into the next.
Build the system around the work.
Forge is the agentic environment for building and maintaining applications and frameworks. It works against the contracts of the chosen framework, including Datastake’s separate framework and DAAC’s own Frame.
Compose assembles existing components. Extend proposes a component for an unmet need. Convert rebuilds an existing system against a target framework. Maintain carries approved changes into systems already in use.
People control scope and consequential changes. Agents perform the construction within those limits; verification checks the result against the agreed requirements.
Build and maintain
Use the same specifications and component contracts throughout the system’s life.
Preserve what works
When rebuilding, check the behaviour and data people already depend on.
Reuse the method
Record decisions and corrections so the next build starts with what has already been learned.
Works with
Where it contributes.
Start with the work you need done.
We can confirm the relevant tools, their current capabilities and the scope of a proposed engagement.
